Rapid manufacturing of composites: science and technology

Prof Richard Day (Wrexham Glyndŵr University) will explain why there is a growing demand to use composites in sectors such as transportation and energy. This puts a strain on the existing manufacturing technology to provide sufficient components to meet the manufacturing requirements.

Richard will describe some of the manufacturing technologies being developed and the progress in understanding their effects on the properties of the materials through the physics and chemistry of the processes taking place during manufacture.
